For details about the JADE 2020 software requirements, which differ from those of earlier releases, see "Software Requirements", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide.

Before you upgrade to JADE 2020, refer to "JADE 2020 Changes that May Affect Your Existing Systems", elsewhere in this document.

As with any JADE release (for example, upgrading to a minor release or to a major feature release from an earlier JADE version), you must recompile any external method Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) or external programs using the JADE Object Manager Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with the new JADE \Include and \Library files before you attempt to run your upgraded JADE systems. (For details about the JADE Object Manager APIs, see Chapter 3 of the JADE Object Manager Guide.)
